For that [establishing a permanent peace] we must now prepare ourselves. ... I am not advocating a "kiss and make up" ending to the war; the guilty ones must be punished and reparations must be made .... But nothing should be done in rage and vengeance. This is a war of ideals, and we must not go over to the other side. ... We believe in the ... rights of men, all men; and it must be our concern to see that justice is carried out with dignity and that distinction is made between tyrants and their victims.

When Christ [Jesus] rode into Jerusalem on the white donkey, with no army, no weapon, no influential friends—with nothing but an idea—an idea which seemed foolish to the Greeks and Romans, who could have guessed that he would change the calendar of the whole world and create a new standard of life eventually for all people? Who would believe that this young man, an unknown carpenter's son, of Nazareth, was destined to be the inspiration of the greatest music, architecture, and literature of all time?
